Springs. The Featured teller will be Joe Doolittle. Sign up to tell at 6:45
pm. $3 (Refreshments $1)

New
tellers always welcome. Once a month from 7:00-9:00 p.m., storytellers
have their own open mic, to try their voices for the first time, to hone their
skills in front of a live responsive audience, to work on their presentation,
or to try new ideas in a supportive atmosphere. For others, it's a cheap night
of entertainment. No reservations are necessary or taken. The organizers and
MCs for this storytelling open mic are storytellers Margaret French,
Christie Keegan and Jeannine Laverty. Doors open for sign up at 6:45
p.m. There is a 10-minute limit on story length. The MC will weave the evening
together and there will be no feedback. No reading of stories, just telling,
please. To reimburse the Caffè for use of the space, admission is $3, and $1
each for the coffee and goodies. Hope to see AND hear you there! Questions?
